On tanks and armoured vehicles, grousers are usually pads attached to ...
Truck and tractor pulling, also known as power pulling, is a form of a motorsport competition in which antique or modified tractors pull a heavy drag or sled along an 11-meter-wide (35 ft), 100-meter-long (330 ft) track, with the winner being the tractor that pulls the drag the farthest.
Note how it is in four foot sections with manual levers to adjust the depth of tillage. Harrows, whether spring tooth, spike tooth or disc harrows can have a drag connection or have a 3 point mounting. A drag harrow is pulled and cannot be backed up. Three point implements can be raised and lowered hydraulicly and maneuvered more easily.
Although considered more primitive than wheel-based forms of transport, on the type of territory where the travois was used (forest floors, soft soil, snow, etc.), rather than roadways, wheels would have encountered difficulties which would have made them less efficient.
Big Muskie was the world's largest ever dragline. Built by Bucyrus-Erie in 1969, it was 487 ft (148 m) in length, weighed some 13,500 short tons (12,247 t), and hoisted a 220 cu yd (168.2 m 3) bucket that could move 325 short tons (295 t) of material at a pass.
